A reader commented – doctors practice medicine; artists do not practice art.
Makes sense. But I do support the practice of supporting art. And I would very much like to be supported for finding art.
All that as a backdrop to my walk through the campus this morning. So much of what is here shouts ART!
If you take pictures of art, are you contributing to its creation? Or just supporting it?
The last photo is from the newly renovated Yale University Art Gallery (a modernist building that is as old as I am). The permanent collection here is mind boggling.
A warm warm day, much of it spent walking through art, thinking about art, wishing there was more time for participating actively in its creation.
.... when when when are you going to figure out just what it is that we are looking at when we see your photographs, when we read your blog?

The Night Cafe, the Hudson River school, Paul Revere silverware . . . as an undergraduate I used to go there to study, just to listen to the silence and be surrounded by all of that beautiful art.
